Re: Ouch....
Lots of Aussies get bit, especially by the Tiger Snake which will chase you to bite you whilst making a barking sound. All of the other snakes will slither away when they hear a human approaching.
As long as you don't panick and don't have an allergic reaction you will be OK as all hospitals carry anti-venom.

A SNAKE, that chases you, barking? Oh good grief!! 
Just because you're Paranoid, it doesn't mean to say they're not out to get you.
